   Summary

   There were only a few things in life that Elara every really wanted: for her older brother, Rhysand, to finally start paying attention to her, to live a life free out from under the oppressive thumb of her father and marry the male she loved more than anything, and to feel the wind beneath her wings.

   Only she didn't live to see any of that.

   Taken near death, stripped of her memory, and given a new identity, she ends up on the wrong side of the war with Hybern. With every horrible thing she does in the name of the King of Hybern, she becomes more and more of the soulless monster that they want her to be.

   Then, when a certain shadowsinger takes an interest in her, missing pieces start to fall back into place.

   Will she ever be able to piece together the life that had been ripped to shreds that day in the Illyrian mountains? Does she even deserve to? Or is Elara truly gone forever?
